Kirat is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “recitation of the Quran”. It is derived from the Q-R-HAMZ (he/she read or recited) which is used in many places in the Quran, and is also the root for the word “Quran” (which literally means The Reading, The Recitation):

The Tilawa (Arabic: تِلَاوَة‎) is a recitation of the successive verses of the Quran in a standardized and proven manner according to the rules of the ten recitations.

These methods are different from the seven forms, or modes (ahruf), in which the Quran was revealed. The methods have been traced back to Muhammad through a number of Sahaabah who were noted for their Quranic recitations; they recited the Quran to Muhammad (or in his presence), and received his approval.

Riwayat (English: Tradition) is a 2010 Indian drama film directed by Vijay Patkar and produced by Dr. Ajay Rane and Dr. Sanjay Patole. The film is based on the issues of female foeticide in India. The film was screened at international film festivals and won several international awards.

Hafs recitation Of all the canonical recitation traditions, only the Kufan tradition included the basmala as a separate verse in Chapter (surah) 1. It is, alongside the Hafs ‘an ‘Asim tradition which represents the recitational tradition of Kufa, one of the two major oral transmission of the Quran in the Muslim World.

According to Islamic tradition, the Quran was revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad by the angel Gabriel (Jibril ) in seven ahruf (Arabic: أَحْرُف‎, romanized: aḥruf, sing. ḥarf), translated variously as “editions”, “styles”, “ways”, “forms” and “modes”.

Mujawwad is a melodic style of Quran recitation which is known throughout the Muslim world. Murattal is the adjective of the noun tarteele, which is reciting the Quran in a melodic tone of voice and very beautifully.

Tarteel (Arabic: ترتيل‎) is the Arabic word for hymnody. The Arabic word translated as “slow, measured rhythmic tones” is tarteel. It is also the term used to define the rules explaining proper recitation of the Qur’an in the manner that Gabriel revealed it to Muhammad.

Urdu. Shah Abdul Qadir, son of Shah Abdul Aziz Dehlawi, produced the first Urdu translation in 1826. One of the authentic translations of the Qurʻan in Urdu was done by Abul A’la Maududi and was named Tafhimu’l-Qur’an. Molana Ashiq Elahi Marathi also translated the Qurʻan in Urdu.

When praying in congregation, the people stand in straight parallel rows behind the chosen imam, facing qibla. The imam, who leads the congregation in salat, is usually chosen to be a scholar or the one who has the best knowledge of the Qur’an, preferably someone who has memorised it in its entirety (a hafiz) .

Both men and women are allowed to lead prayers and deliver a khutba. Although congregants may choose to position themselves wherever they like, there is no gender segregation policy during prayer.

Imams are appointed by the state to work at mosques and they are required to be graduates of an İmam Hatip high school or have a university degree in Theology.

Masbuq or Masbuk (Arabic: مَسْبُوق) is derived from the word سبق which means ‘came ahead of somebody or something’. In Islamic terminology, a Masbuq is a person in Salah, whose Imam has preceded him a few rakahs or the whole prayer, or he is a person who has joined the Imam after one or more rakahs.

The twelfth and final Imam is Muhammad al-Mahdi, who is believed by the Twelvers to be currently alive, and hidden in the Major Occultation until he returns to bring justice to the world.

Shia Muslims believe that just as a prophet is appointed by God alone, only God has the prerogative to appoint the successor to his prophet. They believe God chose Ali to be Muhammad’s successor, infallible, the first caliph (khalifah, head of state) of Islam.
